+Hi,
+
+You might not be aware that freenode has a dedicated community team and that we
+would be delighted to help your projects get the most from freenode. The
+freenode community team consists of christel, edk, JonathanD, mquin, Myrtti,
+nhandler, Swant and tomaw, and we would love to help you spread the word about
+releases and launches, conferences or events and any other project milestones
+that may be of interest to our shared communities. We are happy to make
+announcements on IRC, reshare your social media posts and we would love for you
+to guest author or co-author a blog post for the freenode website.
+
+If you think this is something that would be useful for your project, please do
+not hesitate to get in touch with us! You can find us in `#freenode-community`
+or drop us a line to <community@freenode.net>.
+
+Make sure not to miss any interesting news by setting `/umode +w` (or `/mode
+yournick +w`).
